I have come to absolutely detest puzzles where moving one thing makes others move at the same time. You know, the light all the lights puzzles, turn the circles, roll the dials, etc. etc. I don't know if it's my age or the way my brain is wired but these are a definite "skip" for me as soon as I see one. I'm okay with other types so I can't be too doolally yet!

I'll give them a shot and usually stumble on a solution. I hate puzzles without "reset" buttons, though. Sometimes you head in a wrong direction and need to start over. I hate when you have to keep going down the wrong path until you make your way out of it.

Object puzzles that require you to somehow get the object for a puzzle-in-the-future that you have 0 idea you need at that moment in time but are expected to pick it up because if you don't then you're out of luck.

I don't mind sliders if I know the image I'm supposed to create, but some are so abstract that I get it the wrong way around and then have to start again from scratch. I do like the sliding block puzzles where you have to work the key tile to the opening, but I really dislike the ones with overlapping rings where you have to get the colored balls arranged in a certain way. I always give them a try but tend to skip them if given the option.
